🏢 About Intersect Power

This makes them an attractive employer for professionals passionate about driving environmental impact through innovative energy solutions.
About This Role
As Head of Environmental, Health and Safety at Intersect Power, you will be responsible for developing and leading a comprehensive safety program across renewable energy construction and operations. This role is impactful because you'll embed a strong safety culture within a company building the future of clean energy, directly protecting personnel, contractors, and communities while managing EHS budgets and KPIs.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve virtual meetings with project teams across different renewable construction sites, reviewing safety metrics and incident reports, collaborating with executive leadership on strategic EHS initiatives, and developing policies for emerging risks in solar/wind construction. You'll balance field operations oversight with budget management and stakeholder communication, all while advancing Intersect Power's commitment to clean energy safety.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Intersect Power Is Looking For
- Has 15+ years in energy construction (specifically with solar/wind experience, not just oil/gas) and 10+ years managing HSE operations with strategic planning focus
